Gloves, more gloves, still more gloves. Pens, post-its, paper clips, an unchewed plug of tobacco once! I picked it up where a patient had set it down after his wife sneaked it in, intending to pitch it but forgot. Yecch!:yuck:

Empty immunization vials! I've been getting better about it, but it used to happen like once a week. I stick them in my pocket after drawing them up so as soon as I give them, I enter them in. However, when you're being pulled in twelve different directions, you occasionally forget to enter them until the next day. :(
